Need hep finding the surface area and volume of the sixth stellation of the icosahedron. I am realllly bumped.
Are you using multi variables and triple integrals to solve this?
this is what i am dealing with. to tell you the truth, I have no idea what you are talking about :P I was asked for a project to find the surface area and volume. is there a formula for this crazy polyhedron?
Are you in Calc 3?
nope, honors geometry. I am a sophmore
What methods do you use to solve volumes of shapes? What I'm asking is what is the first step?
like for a cone we use V=1/3 BH , for a hemisphere, we use 4/3 pi r^3. pretty basic pyramid= 1/3 BH
So you are given the formula of shapes for volume. Does the book give you the formula in this case?
no it does not. our teacher was suppose to teach us the formula, but he didn't get around to it or I missed it. and i was sure to pay attention. either way, I have no cue where I am suppose to start.
Sorry I know a different methods but it's too tedious. Wait and ask your teacher tomorrow
alright, thank you
